Josh,
I am a regular hiker on the Conewego Rec Trail near E-town. In Oct 2009, at marker 1.5mi East from HWY 230, I spotted a mammal in the Conewego Creek chasing after a fish. I thought it was a river otter, but when it crawled out of the creek and onto a tree lying across the creek, I was convinced that it was not an otter.
Another hiker suggested that it might have been a fisher, but that possibility seems even more remote.
However, today, Dec 31, 2010, I got word that it may have been a mink, which is another surprise for the area, but as I look up the mink on the internet. I would have to say that this is the most likely conclusion to my sighting, and now that I have a similar sighting by you in roughly the same area, hmmmm?
